It’s the dang weekend, Athletics Nation!
One of the bright spots for the A’s this season has been the rotation. Frankie Montas and Cole Irvin are living up to their previous performances, and they’ve gotten strong showings from other arms like Paul Blackburn and Zach Logue. Most starters have appeared in enough games this season that we can start to take a look at their tendencies.
Using Baseball Savant’s Pitcher Plinko tool we can use Statcast data to filter a pitcher’s tendencies in different counts. The tool also gives a rundown of pitch types used to achieve at-bat results.
